I have been delighted by the number of friends who have called/emailed/caught me in a chat room to check in and see how I am feeling now that Tony and I are in the home stretch baby-wise. The answer to the question of when is the baby due is "Who knows?" Apparently the kid is a little large and hoped for early, though as Bethany correctly pointed out the pre-delivery estimates are rarely correct.
The kid's due date is June 17th and her tentative induction date (which I would like to avoid) is June 19th, as in Juneteenth here in Texas. Though we might as well just wait her out, since a failed induction and huge baby both might end in c-section land.
Yesterday afternoon I thought it might be "time" due to some contractions that wouldn't go away even after I rested for an hour. Also, Tony was out of town so the irony gods would have been pleased.
However, it was clearly not time as the kid still resides indoors.

"As in Juneteenth here in Texas..." I feel like such a Midwesterner sometimes! Thanks Wikipedia! My college roommate is due with baby #2 the same time you are so it will be fun to see pictures around the same time! Isn't it like 130 degrees down there now, Geez! Brad and I are going up to a wedding in Michigan this weekend. I want to stay-in-the-loop so please don't have the baby while I'm away from the computer! Ha! I'm so selfish!
That totally won't be a problem. This kid is sticking around. Yell at her Leanne! Tell this kid to get moving!
